Our previous experience of using advisers to help with fundraising had produced mixed results and we often struggled to see the added-value that they could bring to the process. However, having been recommended to meet with ICON by our Chairman, we were immediately impressed their appreciation for our business, their understanding of the funding market as well as knowledge of the key institutions and individuals that we should speak to. ICON worked with us to develop our corporate finance strategy and played an instrumental part in liaising between management, incumbent investors and prospective new investors to help us close a new round of funding in under 3 months from start to finish. I would definitely recommend ICON
ICON's market knowledge and support was invaluable throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to raise money or sell their business
ICON's experience was invaluable in getting us the funding we were looking for! Given the challenges that small companies face in balancing the day-to-day needs of the business with longer-term funding requirements, we were delighted to have an experienced corporate finance adviser in Eddie to help us manage the whole fundraising process. Raising venture capital is by no means an exact science but ICON's understanding of the market and assistance in the deal negotiations helped us to secure a successful funding round with an experienced and supportive investor syndicate
After reviewing our options we chose ICON to act as our corporate finance advisers because of the great depth of experience they have in the technology sector and the comfort we got that they would be dependable. They have an excellent reputation in the market and they approached our funding mandate in a pragmatic fashion. I was assured by the way Eddie was able to identify and manage the key issues during our negotiations with prospective funders, and we were very pleased with the deal that we finally struck with investors
We were very impressed with ICON. They created competitive tension and as a result we received offers from several overseas acquirers. This boosted our negotiating position and added significantly to the value of the deal.
By Choosing ICON you will receive a level of deal expertise, personal commitment, know how and knowledge of the tech sector, unmatched by any other corporate finance firm
ICON is outstanding! Without their dedication and market knowledge, this deal would not have happened
ICON introduced us to CACI and other potential acquirers, negotiated and shaped the deal, but almost as importantly, guided us in a very professional manner through a host of sometimes technical issues that arose during the process. ICON delivered!
